Most of my keris are Nem Neman; I have seven antique blades dressed and a couple of more waiting .
The new work can be outstanding . |

Another KERIS GUEST
Another special keris guest, Mr "Big" Suhaimi from Singapore, with (first and third from left) our keris friends from Malaysia. The far right, is KRT (Kanjeng Raden Tumenggung) Hartonodiningrat -- the winner of "keris forming competition" in Bentara Budaya Jakarta 2006, from Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia.

I'm glad you like it Ganja; thank you .
Kelangan really reveals the sculptural aspects of a keris . I was drawn to the unusual and flamboyant form . For me the ada ada flows just like the moving snake . |

Yes, all kelengan needs good garap. Usually keris makers makes kelengan keris with much "kruwingan" and "ada-ada", and also must be fine in finishing the smaller details... Ganjawulung |

A nice balance has been achieved in its making . I've been thinking of sealing the deck Andrew but the damn things are federally protected , not to mention very heavy . |

Not quite Empu Pauzan Pusposukadgo, but poleng, none the less.
There's some clever little fellers up in Aeng Tong-Tong, isn't there? |

Great stuffs.. hey!! "Mr Big Man" was there??? His a friend of mine too. It would be good also to have keris exhibition cum competition that was held at Kelantan Malaysia. Perhaps introducing one or two great local pandai (smith).

Those are beautiful kerises Ganja !
I have 3 Kelengan kerises .... so far . @ Andrew, that deck was never sealed; 23 years now . Not to mention the Grinners around here have dibs on all the little ones ... big ones too . No one argues with a White Pointer . |

NAGA to be
This is another "kelengan to be" Rick. A new design of Naga dhapur, by Ki Sukamdi. Not yet finished, and even not yet formed. Still a "kodokan". Usually, Ki Sukamdi draws with 1:1 scale in a piece of paper to make his kerises....
